Very cool.. The top specimen is a nice mature male with great preservation. The bottom may be as well, but I can't tell on my iPad.

Most of the better specimens I have seen are mature males. Which really isn't all that surprising.

Just thought I would add that the second appears to be a mature male as well. Now that I got a better look the chelicerae seem to have awesome preservation too. Gorgeous.
